No, thats the thing, there is not many A8s D3 so you can just look at them like that
ET40 will take them 5mm out than what it is now.
ET35 would be ideal, but the set I'm thinking about back again comes with ET25 as well.
25 looks like at least 10mm to much from all the specs I've checked so far, I assume is all to do with the air suspension, which as I said I want to keep as it is more a family car so custom suspension is not the option at the minute.
There wont be a issue in Comfort mode, but the problem might be when its set to Dynamic where suspension is on the lowest setting therefore is they are to far out it will scratch the wheel arches.
If not that, I could get them from UK, exactly same ones, but ET29 and in gloss silver which I'm not the biggest fan of for this color of the car, and they are cheaper by 250quid, and no hassle with getting them to someone in Canada and them DHL to UK.
But the ones in UK have no clear branding, Hartmann is known and you have got some guarantee of quality.

Idea is, if I get rims with ET40 (the only one set with this specs is the one from US), I can always use the 5-10mm spacers as a worst case scenario.
If I get 25 or 29 offset, there wont be a way back to slightly higher offset.
But just know, I've checked once again the fitments for each model on that page (link above), and it says A8 V8 2003+ ET40 and ET25 for 20'' !?!?
Would they be aware of the suspension matter where it says all over the place ET35/39 - 45 for this car ????
This is the car and the rims from US
It looks like 25 offset, but same time looks like is on Comfort setting
Now, this is the original S8 Wheel 20'' ET46 9J !!!
And thats mine on 18'' (8.5J !!!) ET45
I understand that 9J will still be slightly more off to outside than 8.5J as is wider or...???
Thanks once again guys.
